9 Signs That You Are Losing Emotional Intimacy

Clearly, something is not working well when you are losing emotional intimacy. Here are signs that you need to consider:

You have stopped talking with your spouse and you no longer share details on recent happening and daily events. Silence has developed and communication has decreased.

You no longer touch one another again and have no feeling to your spouse with genuine desire. You can’t keep your passion alive due to the absence of intimate interactions with one another.

You no longer kiss one another at more than light intensity. Giving your spouse quick pecks don’t guarantee that you have intimacy and it may only be a passion-less daily routine. Intense kisses represent deeper feeling, love and passion.

You no longer feel the desire and the fire between both of you have been extinguished, and you don’t remember it happened in the past. Your marriage becomes loveless and disconnected.

Both of you no longer listen to one another. If you stop listening to your spouse, it could be a sign of depression and frustration about the relationship.

Both of you think that there’s imbalanced responsibility. This could happen if a spouse feels that he/she is being poorly appreciated.

Both of you work a daily chore independently and you have no desire to work together to complete the task.

You no longer set down a dinner with the whole family and relationship with children is estranged as well. Instead, each of the spouses eat in front of the TV, porch, backyard or other places inside the house, as long as they can be left alone.
